As a family gathers in Sintra, Portugal, the matriarch faces her last chapter.
Trailer
Why watch the movie Frankie?
"Independent filmmaker Ira Sachs ("Love Is Strange") leaves his usual New York City settings for his first European-based movie, "Frankie," selected in Cannes Film Festival and Los Cabos International Film Festival in 2019. In a line very similar to Roberto Rossellini's "Journey to Italy," Richard Linklater's "Before Sunrise," or Woody Allen's Euro-centric "To Rome with Love" or "Midnight in Paris;" this film makes the picturesque city of Sintra a beautiful canvas on which it paints melancholic interactions between spouses, lovers, ex-lovers, friends, and parents and children. Even if Sachs doesn't reach the heights of said references, he delivers an emotionally charged drama and masterfully acted by an international all-star cast led by great Isabelle Huppert ("The Piano Teacher"), Greg Kinnear ("Little Miss Sunshine"), Marisa Tomei ("The Wrestler"), Brendan Gleeson ("Gangs of New York"), and Jérémie Renier ("The Kid with a Bike"), to name a few."
